CITY BUILDING, RAILWAY BUILD
ING AND FARM OPERATIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA,
BIGGEST EVER.
Tho machinery, tho monoy and the
men for carrying on tho big works in
Western Cnnada in 1913 aro already
provided for. Tho splendid harvest
which was successfully garnered, and
by this time mostly marketed, re
sponded to tho big hopes that wero
had for It early In tho season, and In
spired capitalists and railroads to
further Investment and building.
from lake ports to mountain base
thero will bo carried on tho biggest
operations in city building and rail
way construction thnt has over taken
placo In that country. Tho Canadian
Pacific railway has everything In
waiting to continuo their great work
of doublo tracking tho system nnd by
the tlmo tho Pnnnma Conal Is capon to
traffic there will bo a doublo line of
steel from Lake Superior to tho Pa
cific coast. Tho cost will exceed
thirty million dollars. Tho Grand
Trunk Pacific plan of building a first
class trunk lino nnd then fecdors at
various points will bo carried forward
with nil tho force that great company
can put Into the work. Tho Canadian
Northern Is prepared to put Into mo
tion nil tho energy thnt young giant
of finance and rnllroad building can
put Into various enterprises of provid
ing nnd creating transportation facili
ties. Hullding operations in tho several
cities, thnt havo already marked
themselves a placo In tho list of suc
cessful and growing cities, will bo
carried on more largely than over.
Schools, public buildings, parliament
buildings, colleges, business blocks,
apartments, prlvato residences, banks,
street nnd other municipal Improve
ments have their appropriation ready,
nnd tho record of 1913 will bo some
thing wonderful. Other places which
are towns today will innko tho rapid,
strides, that aro expected and will bo"
como cities. Thero will be other Ed
montons, Calgarys, Iteglnas nnd Sas
katoons, other places that may In
their activity help to convince tho
outer world of tho solidity nnd perma
nency of tho Canndlnn West. Tho
country Is lnrgo and wide nnd broad
and tho ends of its great width nnd
length nro but tho limits of Its agri
cultural area. Its peoplo aro progres
sive, they aro strong, thero Is no
enervation there. Tho country teems
with this life, this ambition, this
fondness to create nnd to uso tho
forces that await tho settler. If they
como from tho South, and hundrcda
of thousands of thorn hnvo, they aro
now tho dominant men of tho North,
nnd they hnvo Imbibed of tho spirit
of tho North. Therefore It 1b fair to
say that no portion of tho continent
will show such wonderful results as
Western Canada, and the year 1913
will be but tho beginning of a won
derful nnd great future. And in this
futuro tho 200,000 Amerlcnns who
madn It their home, and those who
preceded them, will bo a consldorablo
portion of the machinery thnt will bo
used In bringing about the results
predicted.
Tho development of 1913 will not
bn confined to tho pralrlo provinces.
Hallway building nnd city building In
Ilrltlsh Columbia will bo supplement
ed by tho farm, tho ranch nnd tho
orchard building of that province.
Vancouver will mnko great strides In
building, nnd Viitorln, tho staid old
Indy of so many years, has already
shown signs of modern ways, and If
tho progress mndo In 1912 may bo ac
cepted ns nnythlng llko what It will
bo In 1913. thero will bo wonderful
developments thero. During last
year tho permits went over tho ton
million dollar mark nnd much more in

GLASS MAKtRS GIVE THEIR SIDE
OPPOSE PROPOSED CHANGES IN
THE TARIFF.
Don't Fix Prices Will Cut Wages or
Suspend Businrss, Says Their
Representative.
Washington. Talk of trusts of do
mestic and foreign varieties, of low
wages and women toilers in indus
tries abroad that enabled strong for
eign competition with American en
terprises and of capital's groat stake
In tho tariff tinkering, enlivened the
hearing on the earthen.', aro and glass
ware schedule of the Payno-Aldrich
law before the house- committee on
ways and means.
It was tho first of the two days of
arguments on the second schedule of
the existing law. A declaration of
Chairman Underwood that he was
satisfied with the showing made of
tho keenly competitive conditions In
tho pottery Industry was accepted as
an asiurnnce of an undisturbed pot
tery tariff.
All representatives of the different
window glnss companies were present.
Running through most of the testi
mony wero references to trusts abroad
In various lines of endeavor, a con
stant specter that stalked on the cus
toms border lines, threatening to In
vndo this country If the tariff bars
wero lot down.
Former Governor Wllllnm A. Stone
of Pennsylvania Insisted that the Na
tional Window Glass Association de
pendod In Its price making solely upon
the law of supply and demand and
thnt If the tariff on window kIiibb was
reduced, tho loss to the association
would bo met either by reduction of
the worklngmen's wages or by sus
pension of factories.
Ho said thoro were 92 window glnss
faotorlcB, constituting a distinctive
class, that did not have today enough
prollt to Justify n slnglo sale at loss
than tho current prices. He said thero
wub an attempt about flvo years ago
to rcgulato prices among the window
glass compaulos when tho government
stepped In nnd successfully proBo
cuted nnd thoro had been no attempt
In that direction since.
Josoph AuorbnCh, a life-long Demo
ornt, speaking for plate glusa and
other manufacturers suggested that
"tho tariff way should bo a toll road
and not a highway whom highwaymen
may ply their trade."
Mr. Auerbach charged that the
counterpart abroad of moro than one
Amorlcnn Industry Is controlled In
manufacture, output, management nnd
distribution by a dictatorial legalized
commission or trust whoso unlawful
oxlBtcnco hero would be enjoined and
Its promotors Indicted and convicted.
Ho urged thnt the commlttoo consider
whnt would bo tho lowor and roal cost
of tho output If tho "foreign factorlen
wero permitted to run freely nnd not
held In tho strangle grip of the trust,
and as they would bo run If you opoh
tho floodgates of n cut-throat, ruinous
and unlawful competition upon home
manufacture."

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and tho
surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these trouble? may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
